Press Release

The South Carolina State Library and the South Carolina Center for Community Literacy are pleased to announce the third annual Project READY (Reimagining Equity & Access for Diverse Youth) S.C. learning cohort course. 

When a gentleman in France doing research hit "send" after drafting a reference question, he was unsure what type of response he would receive. However, when you reach out to a South Carolina State Library librarian, you don't just get help; you gain a research partner.

With South Carolina primaries occurring in June, selecting South Carolina Elections from the South Carolina Election Commission as the featured state document for April and May is fitting.

We joined the Hardeeville Library in Jasper County in celebrating new, inclusive additions to its collection.

South Carolina State Library cardholders may now access five of the nation's leading newspapers. Daily issues of The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and The Wall Street Journal are available by 8:00 a.m. eastern time. Users may find the ProQuest US Major Dailies newspaper collection on the State Library's A-Z page.

This spring we kick off a monthly series on African American genealogy. Each session features a different topic to help South Carolinians trace their family history.

Thanks to everyone who attended Read-In 2022 in person and virtually. It was fantastic to be back together again to celebrate reading and declare that, “Kids who read succeed!” We had close to 500 students, teachers, and staff join us for the parade to the South Carolina State House, and several thousand watched online.

The South Carolina State Library is pleased to announce the selection of the most notable South Carolina State Documents of 2021. Government documents come in a variety of formats and winning categories include state agency monographs, serials, and websites or apps.

It’s here! The new image-rich StudySC website gives K-12 students and teachers a place to find curated materials on famous South Carolina people, geography, history, facts, glossary terms, and SC book awards.
